Aura: Meditation & Sleep 4+

Pretty impressive app

I did not continue after the free trial, although it is very tempting. I may come back later and try it again. It has meditations,prayers, soundscapes, positive information they call therapy which lasts a few minutes, breath work, hypnosis, ability to adjust the nature sounds or music in background of meditations, and even choose which nature sound you prefer, white or pink noise adjustment. I hate all the nature sounds in meditations so really appreciate I can mute them. Sometimes the content creator will add a bird or something but it was pretty minimal. You can follow content creators you like. There are live events. You can create playlists, like morning music and evening music. I saved some morning music that I really enjoyed using in the morning. It is very extensive content and it seems they have included a lot of genres.

I would change one thing. Generally the sleep stories and meditation did not work for me. However one night, I think I went to sleep because I was just exhausted with no memory of the meditation I used. Unfortunately the next night I was unable to find what I used before, as I wanted to try it again.

I gave it 5 stars because they have done a great job with this type of app. I wish it worked for my sleep like it seems to work for most people.

Finally able to fall asleep!

I’ve tried many sleep apps the last few years, and there were some that helped to some extent - but none have helped as much as the hypnosis tracks on Aura! There are dozens - maybe hundreds - to choose from, and I can tell within a minute or two if one is “speaking to me.” In the trial period, I was already figuring out which individuals I wanted to follow and which ones I wished I could permanently delete.
In the past, lying with my eyes closed “trying” to sleep would just wind me up and make me feel agitated. Listening to the hypnosis audio that I like takes me to a place of openness and relaxation I’ve never before experienced. I can’t explain it; I just know it works for me. Instead of chasing sleep for literal hours, I generally fall asleep before a 30 min hypnosis audio is complete. I do still wake in the night at times, but I listen to another (or the same) hypnosis recordings, and I fall back to sleep quickly.
The only downside is the cost, but if you have chronic insomnia like I have, it’s a small price to pay for a good night’s sleep. (Annual membership paid in advance works out to about $4/month, which is a bargain for what you get. To make it even a sweeter deal, my partner gifted me with an annual premium membership! He is awesome - and so is Aura!!

Best Sleep Since 10+ Years

I haven’t been sleeping well honestly in these past years. Father passed away in 2012 but it seems like yesterday and I also have a ton of emotional trauma throughout this long period. I have been a consistent yogi also for the past 20+ years and I struggled silencing my mind when it comes to bed time because of many pressures I am dealing with. I decided to listen to Aura based on other’s reviews and also because I didn’t have time to physically drive up to my yoga studio for group meditation and I was getting anxiety driving at night so this was a nice option! I opened my mind and super glad I gave Aura a chance to improve my physical and mental well being! I highly recommend Aura and if I could give a 1,000, 000 million stars ⭐️, I sincerely would. From the bottom of my soul, I thank you for creating a wonderful solution to improve my spiritual well being! I had many sleepless nights and also woke up for the first time, early and refreshed, and this is also helping with my depression. Thank You for helping me get closer to my old beautiful self. With sincere gratitude and prayers, thank you, thank you, thank you!
